I love this foundation. I never would have tried it if it wasn't for all the MUA reviews, because it's kind of expensive for a drugstore brand. But this stuff is better than a lot of high-end...

God, this is depressing. I was sure this foundation would work for me after reading the reviews here, but this is one of the worst foundations I have ever tried! It sinks into my pores and makes...

This is a great foundation, creamy texture, nice yellow-based color, and a dewy finish. The first time I wore it, a lady working at the Lancome counter complimented me on my "perfect" skin. I...

I am currently on my second bottle of this foundation and I really like it. I have the color sand which is really nice on me because it has a yellow base. This foundation blends very easily. I...

This foundation did not give me adequate coverage and went on too pink, but the bottom line for me was it felt gritty.

I took a chance on this and was pleasantly suprised. I wear the Buff/Chamois 02, a little pale looking when I put it on but blended fantastically. I use a sponge because it is a thicker, dewier...

I had read some reviews on here this foundation comes in yellow based shades, so I thought I'd give it a try, but when I put the stuff on it was a thick wet pinkish white mask. Yuck! I'm giving...

So far this is what I use. I don't LOVE it, but I haven't found anything better. I'm scared to try anything else. I goes on thick or thin, depending on what you want. I don't really use the...

This is a pleasant surprise for a drug store foundation! I have nothing to complain whatsoever except the clumpsy "deluxe applicator"! Buff is the perfect colour match for me, the coverage (medium)...

I bought this in a trial size, and boy am I glad I didn't buy a full size! It magnified my pores and stuck to dry patches and felt a little irritating. It also gave me a little rash that took a...

This was not for me. I bought a sample, and as soon as I applied it I noticed how my pores just popped out like I put them under a magnifying glass, not to mention that it didn't have the medium...

A very cool foundation. I love the little applicator with the ball at the tip, and the texture is very nice. It blends in nicely, and its coverage is incredible!

Wow! I'm really impressed by this foundation. The Kinetin offers light-medium coverage, so I save it for my 'bad-skin' days. It leaves a semi-matte finish (not shiny like other reviewers have said)...

The coverage of this foundation is closer to light than medium, but it is somewhat buildable. If you only need something to give your complexion a little oompf, this is worth trying for its...

Love this! I have it in Naked which is just right for my summer skin, but could probably do with a lighter one for Winter.I've never got on with stick foundations, but this isn't too runny either....

I really wanted to like this foundation - but alas, it didn't work for me. It didn't blend well and for some reason, made my pores stand out. The color was too pink for me (I used the lightest). ...
